Hello,

I have created a component (dll) in VB6.
I registered the component as COM+ on a server.
How can I use it from a client ?
I tryied the sintax:
set objX = createobject("aaa.classxxx","serverip")
but it says:
"class it not registered on the local machine"

Can you please help me explaining how to use rempte components ?

Thanks a lot

Did you put the dll in a COM+ package on the server? If yes, then you just need to export the package from the server as an application proxy (this creates a .msi file), then run that proxy .msi on the client.

Thanks a lot.
I do the .msi and I run it on the client. It works.
I thought the the client doens't need to register anything.

I have just a few questions if you have time.

1. The msi it contains the whole class ?
2. It is the same if I register the class on ther client (with regsvr32) or it is different ?
3. Do I need to be the Administrator on the client machine ?
4. What are exactly the permission I have to give on the server related to the com+ and to the folder where the dll is saved ?
5. Do I have to give special permission about com+ on the client machine ?

Thanks a lot !

1. yes
2. no its different because it puts it in a COM+ package on the client, but its marked as activated on the server so when you do CreateObject you don't need to add the "serverip" argument
3. yes
4. depends how the package is set up on the server, there are many options.
5. no
